Re: [UUPoly-L] Stranger in a Strange Land

Jasmine, you have got me so curious I have to ask, even though I have not 
yet read Stranger in a Strange Land!  What was it about that book that so 
shook up your  Southern Baptist religious beliefs, how did it do it.?  Which 
I am guessing you were taught from childhood.

BTW I was a Northern (now American) Baptist the first 20 years of my life, a 
Southern Baptist the second 20 by chance of where I was (thanks to the U.S. 
Navy and the North Korean Government).  Been a UU for past 36 years.

Yes, and yes, although _Moon is a Harsh Mistress_ had more of an  influence
over me personally. On my first reading, _Stranger_ shook up my  religion so
much that relationship ideas faded into the background. Maybe my  second
reading, too. I was Southern Baptist at the time. But I hear  about Stranger 
from
other poly people all the time.
